    First time trying Levain and it did not disappoint. Even though I knew the cookies were huge, I was still taken by surprise just how hefty it was. I got the two chip chocolate chip cookie and the dark chocolate chip cookie, as well as a mocha with oat milk ($1 extra). The cookies were AMAZING, I especially enjoyed the dark chocolate chip cookie. They were crunchy on the outside, a little soft on the inside with ooey gooey melty chocolate chips. It was absolutely divine. The mocha was also delicious, I asked for extra simple syrup (also another $1) and it was perfect. Service was excellent, they were very helpful and kind. No line when I went, and there were a couple tables to sit at, but the parking is atrocious so we couldn't stay.

    Whatever you thought a chocolate chip cookie was.....erase it and start all over. This place will make you reconsider your entire cookie memory. The service was above par. Very clean and organized. The cookies were....I mean nothing short of top tier. I don't know what else to say. Spend the money. Enjoy the calories. Live your life. Cookies are life.

    Not big fan of the cookies myself because I think they are overpriced and sweet , but my family loves them . Always great service and a nice clean storefront.

    Best cookies in SoCal!!! You can agree or disagree, but if you haven't been, check it out! The signature chocolate chip with walnuts is a MUST.

    Beverly Hills is known for Levain. Macadamias White Chocolate was definitely a limited flavor and I had to try it! I was a little concerned that there were friends flying around in the pastry case. Opted for a cookie instead $6.25.

    It pains me to say that Levain lives up to the hype. It's bad enough that you're pretty much fighting the crowds at rodeo and now you have to work on your inner zen to wait in line for some fresh cookies and sandwiches. Levain offers their iconic cookies that can be seen from miles away with their iconic packaging and larger than most cookies. We ordered the chocolate chocolate, chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia and a cheese sandwich on a fresh baguette. I will say the mound of cookies that you get is pretty overwhelming for one, I personally couldn't finish one cookie in a sitting because of how rich and sweet they are, but that definitely didn't stop me for taking a bite of everyone else's.

    Ah Levains, the perfect way to indulge especially during the holidays. This location is smaller than the Larchmont one. There's no display table for merch and I didn't see a tote bag. But it's all about the sweets. My favorites are the signature Chocolate Chip Walnut, which oozes with chips and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter chips. Love the limited flavor White Chocolate Macadamia, too. The other limited Dark Chocolate Peppermint, Good to try something new but the mint flavor overpowers the chocolate. The Oatmeal Raisin scone is very good and big, like their cookies. The scone was crunchy on the outside, crumbly on the inside, not cakey. Great price, too, for $4.25. They have other pastries but their cookies are irresistible. Service was great and personable. You can either order from an employee or use an iPad (after downloading an app I think). And now they have a few sandwiches, which looked appetizing! Here's a huge plus - parking is a breeze! Pleasantly surprised by the free two-hour parking garage on the same side of the street. Metered parking, too. Very small seating area inside and out. Outside makes for great people watching on this quiet, pedestrian friendly street. Thank you for opening in Beverly Hills!

    A friend had these cookies delivered to him and he was raving about all the flavors that he tried. I checked out their site and saw a couple I would consider trying, so when I saw the storefront over on Bevelry-across from Chaumont-it was a no-brainer to try them out. Looking around, I decided to go with the: -dark chocolate peanut butter chip -two chip chocolate chip -chocolate chip brioche These cookies are BIG. There is a lot to them, so the price is almost worth the size of the cookie alone. I couldn't finish any of these in one sitting. To be honest, I thought they were okay; but I did favor the dark chocolate peanut butter one. As for the brioche, I would skip this; didn't really enjoy this at all but it did look good which is what made me cave in. Other options are flatbreads and sandwiches, and the tomato parmesan flatbread looked particularly good, something to possibly try next time. The four stars primarily goes to the staff; service from Ruth was A+++! Park at a meter if you can get one, or the garage is on same side of the street a block south.

    I did not realize that what lies behind the pearly gates is- Levain!!! Hail to the banana chocolate bread, which was not too sweet with the perfect amount of dark chocolate and so moist. It was a heavenly pairing with my coffee and surprisingly also with my Brazilian port!! The dark chocolate peanut butter cookie redefines what death by chocolate should taste like. My friend had what I believe was the double dark chocolate chip, but why get stuck on semantics? Anything here will be worth the blood sugar spike and will make you so happy. And OC can rejoice! There will be another location coming to Newport soon. Service was fast and helpful. This location has 2 outdoor tables but otherwise is more of a pick up location. Coffee is also served

    Coffee Toffee Cookie

    Chocolate coffee toffee. Please try it. Don't blame me if you're addicted. As always the best cookies but this seasonal one is incredible. Not too sweet but rich and decadent. All cookies baked fresh and goes well with any beverage of chiice. Service amazing parking ain't bad. Delivery even faster

    Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip

    Excited to try Levain Bakery - I've been to NYC bakery in upper west side. Ordered the double chocolate chip and the coconut caramel cookie - both excellent. Lots of chocolate chips, thick and gooey. I love Levain!

    finally open! I've been waiting for Levain BH to open for many many many many months. this location is just down the street from where I work. I'm thrilled I can easily access this iconic cookie that originated in NYC, where my sister would always bring them to LA when she'd visit home. my favorite is the original. I don't need any other cookie. no seasonals, no new flavors, just the classic Levain and I'm good! the store is beautifully designed, with a classic and clean design. staff was cheerful and friendly. I knocked off one star because I had hoped they had decaf espresso beverages (I can't have caffeine in the afternoon, sadly), and also because their cookies have shrunk by at least 1/4 of the size of their original offering. in my humble opinion, the smaller size changes the texture of the cookie as a whole, since there's more crisp on the outside, and leaving less soft tender cookie in the middle. other than this, I am still a fan of this NYC institution!

    Chocolate chip walnut!

    Got the chocolate chip walnut à la mode! Service was welcoming and polite. They warm up your cookie too!

Though I've been here just once (for lunch), I am already plotting my return. I arrived a bit earlier than my friends and in so doing, accidentally avoided the start of the lunch rush. As there are not many tables here, I feel I lucked out snagging a table for us. As I took at the cozy, classy splendor of a still very new establishment, the relaxed but polished decor was both inspiring and low-key. I had an excellent espresso while I got my wish: extended time to take in the menus. The drink menu, and the food menu. It's my favorite when that part of the cafe/restaurant experience delivers tons of time to get really acquainted with a place. Our friendly, helpful server asked the questions I had about the menu, and the time he didn't know he went and found out. Breakfast is served all day, by the way. My friend started with the sausage rolls (accompanied by the freshly made ketchup). Delicious and great for a table starter or a fairly light entree. Good crunch, and moist inside with plenty of seasoning. My entree was the black forest ham quiche. It was indicative of everything else here: the right size, the right mix of produce, protein, fluffy, cheesy egg inside, and anchored by a subtle but first-rate crust. It's served with a fennel based salad, a crisp and a great complement. We were happy and satisfied sooner than expected (alas, Le Moules must wait). Still, I could not resist a little dessert and ordered the Pain Aux Apricot. It was fantastic, something out of a cafe in Paris. Crisp and light and just sweet enough. Appreciated the friendly service. A steady diet of 70's soft-rock quietly served as the soundtrack at this one lunch. There is easily accessible parking on the street or mostly-free city lot.

And I know that vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting is pretty easy to make, but sometimes I'd rather just buy baked goods than make them for myself, especially when I'm driving past what I thought was a popular (and presumably good) bake shop. I expected a high-quality cupcake. The cupcakes looked cute, but they were as dry as the Sahara. They should have been labeled as white cupcakes as I didn't detect any vanilla in them. I suspect that the "buttercream" was made with milk and margarine and powdered sugar.....so much powdered sugar. It was sickeningly sweet, and it was dry too. And a true bettercream doesn't even use powdered sugar. So not only were the cupcakes terrible, they were not even what they purported to be. This is like calling a cut of meat a filet mignon and serving a hamburger. Von's, Ralphs and Albertson's make better cupcakes than this for a fraction of othe price.

Service was a little slow at first and there was only one family ahead of me. Perhaps they were busy making their orders. They only had one person working at the counter. However, once the representative approached me, he took his time helping me choose my order and he was very nice. I found this place while searching for cupcakes on Yelp. There are not many cupcake options in the area anymore. However, I learned they only have cupcakes available for preordering. There were none in store which was disappointing. Additionally, I did not see a lot of the pastries that are shown on Yelp. Seems like they changed their dessert menu within the last year. They do have little pastries, cakes, drinks, and a savory menu with crepes. The pastries are gorgeous and I was excited to try them. However, according to the representative most are made with beef gelatin and are therefore, not vegetarian so, being a vegetarian, my options were limited. I appreciate that he let me know. They did have a vegetarian option for me though. I ordered the raspberry cake. It was delightful. Not as showy as the mousse gelatin desserts but still a pretty dessert and very tasty and melt in my mouth soft. Overall, a cute yet very touristy place to visit. Since options for me were limited I probably would not return as it is out of the way but I do think it was worth a try and a one time treat and what I got was delicious. Parking on the street. Valet parking available next door. Public parking lots nearby.
